IDF fighter jets attacked Hamas terror sites in the Gaza Strip overnight Wednesday following the launching of rockets at southern Israel at about 2 a.m. as well as the launching of a rocket earlier on Wednesday evening.
The rockets exploded in open areas and b’chasdei Hashem, no injuries were reported.
“Fighter jets attacked a production and storage site for chemical raw materials used by the rocket production system of the Hamas terrorist organization and a weapon production site, both located in the center of the Gaza Strip,” the IDF spokesperson stated.
“The attack was carried out in response to the launch of a rocket, which was intercepted by the air defense system earlier today, from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory.”
“This attack significantly harms Hamas’ ability to strengthen and arm itself. Hamas bears responsibility for what is happening in the Gaza Strip and will pay the price for security violations against the State of Israel.”

So it’s going to be business as usual. You kill us, and we’ll bomb empty lots and empty buildings in return. If a rocket is shot from Gaza, the only intelligent and useful retaliation is to BOMB THE PLACE IT CAME FROM, hopefully killing those who fired it, or at least people around there who allowed the perpetrators to roll out and launch the device. That way those around the area won’t allow it next time, knowing that they may be in the line of fire. (This doesn’t smack of stark obviousness, does it?)
But not in Israel. They are a “sensitive” nation, one that cares about rules of engagement and “innocent” civilians. So I guess the leftists will soon be back in power, given the uselessness of Bibi’s guys in protecting the country…
